One pole between 2 front seats and another down one side of the cab between seat and door for me .

I have an Alpha fullbox sports cover which is a solid lid with.spoiler which is alarmed plus it is fitted with a Thatcham cat 3 alarm system .

Hose reel goes on rear seat in transit but if you had a canopy on the back you could put everything in the rear loadbed.

As for Insurance £1,000 a year aint bad for a £15,000 motor . Mike

I have the Walkinshaw Performance and only pay about £500.00 on insurance.

How old are you M & M?

I endorse the 4x4 Pickup absolutely - Ranger Mk2 Supercab is the best work vehicle I've ever had, especially for the rurals. If you buy a Supercab Ranger or Club Cab L200 you get around 6 feet in the back and most poles will fit with ease. Mike - I'm only paying £480 a year for my truck insurance - are you younger than me or do you live somewhere that actually has a crime rate ?

That would explain it - there are some good reasons for living in Devon...

We used to live in a sleepy little village but now live in a town so it is to be expected .  Mike

Here's an update.

I've put down a deposit on a Mitsubishi L200. Looking at it on Saturday.  :)
I won't be getting stuck in the mud!

Thanks for the advice M&M!
